Thank you everybody for the kind words. Everytime I sit at my desk I swear I can feel her resting on my chest. She could never wait for me to sit down.....sometimes she was on the back of the chair before I had a chance to sit, putting one paw on my shoulder, ready to settle in her favorite spot.

I did not think it would be there hard. I have never put my own pet down before....only rescues. It is hard, no matter which animal it is....but this really is so much harder.

I know she and I will meet again and that she is with my Nonna, Dave's Mom, and my Uncle Rocco (whom we lost in one year's time), and that comforts me....but I can't help but still wish I could have done more to save her.

I love you Feisty Girl....
